9. | Samuel Wilcoxin (1.Sarah1) was born on 24 Feb 1755 in Rowan County, , , North Carolina; died in Nov 1825 in Estill County, , , Kentucky; was buried in Saint Helens Cemetery, , Lee County, Kentucky. Notes:
Samuel Willcockson was a son of John and Sarah (Boone) Willcockson. His mother was the oldest sister of the famed Kentucky pioneer, Daniel Boone. Samuel married Anna Jordan (1756-1840). He lived in the area of Rowan Co., NC until 1775, when he travelled to KY (in the same year that his Uncle Daniel Boone led the expedition to pave the Wilderness Road). In KY, Samuel established a claim to 1,000 acres on Licking Creek, but within a short time he returned to NC. By the 1790s, Samuel had moved his family to present Ashe Co., NC, where he would live until about 1815, when he once again went to KY. This time, Samuel settled in what was Estill County and is now part of Lee Co., KY. After his death, his widow and several of his children moved further west to Fulton Co., IL. It should be noted that there is a discrepancy regarding the date of death of Samuel Willcockson. His gravestone shows his date of death as "NVR 1825". The family bible of his grandson, Isaac Aaron Willcoxson, gives his death date as 16 September, 1825. Estill Co., KY records indicate that both of these dates are likely incorrect. Samuel's name is found on the Estill County tax lists until 1827, and the inventory of his estate was recorded in Estill County in March, 1827. Therefore, it is believed that Samuel probably died in early 1827.
Samuel married Anna Jordan about 1776. Anna was born on 7 Jul 1756 in Maryland, , , ; died on 21 Mar 1840 in Fulton County, , , Illinois; was buried in Salem - Cholera Cemetery, , Fulton County, Illinois. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
